Hi @claudio.ibarra.  Colors and Appearances are managed by the DVRs (DesignViewRepresentations), not the ModelStates, but you do still need to be editing either the 'factory' document, or have the MemberEditScope set to all members, if more than just the original ModelState is present, or the change may not be allowed (ModelState members are ReadOnly).  I have not used the new Finish features that many times yet, but yes, that does appear to be a good way to control appearance with a feature, and since it is a Feature, the ModelState would then be involved, primarily to control whether the feature is suppressed or not, and any parameter values involved, but I am honestly not sure about the actual color/appearance itself.  I know that if you just use the finish feature to apply an appearance, the name of that appearance is stored in a 'Finish Parameter', and since parameters are under the control of the ModelStates, it would seem like it could be controlled from the ModelStateTable.

Edit:  The parameters created by a Finish feature appear to be 'greyed out' when viewed from the Parameters dialog box, so I am not sure if their values can be changed independently from editing the feature first.
